Development work covers planning and delivery of major sites, infrastructure and commercial premises, from assembling titles to negotiating planning obligations and securing consent. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates planning agreements, secures restrictions and rights of way, reviews title due diligence, and coordinates environmental, highways and housing contributions. They liaise with local planning authorities, developers, landowners and lenders, and ensure that planning conditions, covenants and permissions align with project timetables and funding needs.

“Having gone through processes with solicitors in the past, you can often feel like you are irrelevant and they don’t care about your timescales and the pressure etc. Clare was fantastic from the word go. Her communication and explanation of the process was perfect and at no stage did we feel stressed even when things didn’t quite go as planned. I would highly recommend anyone going through a similar process to use Clare and should we be required to do anything in the near future, she will be our first choice. Thankyou!”

“Not our first engagement! We continue to use the services of Whitehead Monckton because they are excellent at what they do. We have used this firm for both commercial law advice as well as most recently, conveyancing. On this occasion we worked with Charlotte Jenner who delivered a first class service. The team have a well established process they follow and you just know you're in safe hands. You are regularly updated on progress and whenever we reached out with questions they would follow up immediately with clear and concise advice. We highly recommend Charlotte and the team. It's great that they are local to us but I'm sure their business and capabilities extend beyond our town and Kent county.”
